I've been going to Dr. Frank Leung for a few years now for cleanings. He comes off as very disinterested and uncaring. He didn't want to do surgeries, x-rays, and avoided doing deep cleanings. At first I thought this was good as it seemed like he didn't do unnecessary and expensive operations on me, but after a while I realized he didn't really care and in my opinion, being lazy and coasting.
I brought up issues with my gums, and he shrugged them off. For months he saw my gums were red. I told him days after cleanings they turn red, and he said to take peroxide to deal with it. He kept saying "the only way for me to know if there's an issue is if I check underneath the gums", without any intention to do a deep cleaning or x-ray or anything else. He says all the time about how he COULD do things, without any intention of doing it. How can I trust someone to do something if they aren't being serious about it or advising me I should do it?
He has given me bad advice. He told me the incorrect way to floss, by flossing all the way down my gums as far as possible, which actually causes serious damage. Sometimes he even misunderstands when I'm explaining something to him, no matter how many times I try to clarify, he doesn't seem to be understanding it well. He's very old, and I think his listening and comprehension skills aren't what they were in the past based on these past reviews.
I realize now my mistake was with him and am not seeing him anymore. read more
